On April 5th, 2023, our friend Michael Larson lost his home, his shop, all of his tools, many hot tubs and hot tub parts, and his beloved dog Bailey in a devastating fire.

He was put in a motel for a few days, but that isn't sustainable. As Mike works to pick up the pieces and rebuild his life and local business, we're hoping to raise funds to help him get back on his feet.

Mike is a local business owner who owns Hot Tub Recyclers in Lubbock, Texas, and his home also had the shop in which he did all of his work.

His business was his livelihood, and he worked hard to build it from the ground up. Now, without a home, a place to work, or his tools, he is facing an uncertain future.

In addition, the loss of his beloved companion Bailey has been heartbreaking for him in the midst of this disaster.

She rode along with him for every service call and was a beloved partner to him and his family for 11 years.

Our goal is to raise funds to help him get back on his feet. This money will go directly to his housing and living expenses, as well as any other costs associated with rebuilding after a total loss. We also hope to help him replace his lost tools and set up a new workspace so he can continue to run his hot tub repair business and support his family.
